You should try the FSS trigger... for a striker fired pistol its about as good as you can get. Very little take up, crisp break and almost no over travel. With the supplied springs mine is right at 5.25 lbs but I've heard putting in the stock spring will lessen the pull to around 3 lbs.

The last gun I purchased was a S&W M&P 40c. I put a 357sig barrel in it and I love shooting and reloading
357sig. In fact that is my current carry weapon. Love the trigger pull and the accuracy with both .40 and 357sig.

Do you carry it with the .357 sig conversion or the stock .40 configuration? I've thought about getting a .357 sig barrel for my glock 23 since the conversion is so easy.

I liked the way the 357sig shot so much that I carry with the 357sig. I had to order some carry ammo online. It is really difficult to find 357sig ammo on a store shelf. I have 100 rounds reloaded that I plan to take to the range this weekend. Think I will shoot 50 357sig and then change barrels and shoot some .40.

They are a great series. The standardized operation makes it easy to jump from one size to the next. They all feel very familiar. Even the little shield.

Top Left: M&P22 full size with SWR suppressor. It's known to make grown men giggle.
Top Right: M&P9 plain jane.
Bottom Left: M&p9c Slide machined by ATEI and a Trijicon RMR on top. Its so easy to shoot distance with this short barrel.
Bottom Right: M&P9 Shield a very comfortable concealed carry companion.

Oh, This is my door step….. Its called and unwelcome mat. A fun conversation starter.

Another fan of M&Ps and the Apex DCAEK here! For you guys with the M&P22, how are those holding up? I've thought about getting one to replace (or go with) my Ruger 22/45 since it's same shape as the M&P and has a ambi safety, but one appeal of the Ruger is that it is a solid, long lasting gun. (and I realize the trigger won't be similar to my APEX outfitted gun)

(and apologies for the slight derail, the pictures of .22s reminded me of that question)

I have put well over 1500 rnds through mine, most of it Remington Golden bulk. It still looks pretty much like new. Runs great too. Had 4 FTF, probably because the ammo was over 10 years old. That is it for problems. The only ammo I have not been able to get it to work with was that red box cheap Federal. I bought mine primarily to teach my 7 year old daughter to shoot with, and to practice with on the cheap. I am extremely pleased with mine. I suspect that it will last a good long time.

They can get really dirty during a long range day or when shooting suppressed. You can feel the slide start to slow down and you know its time to clean. The only issue I have had with my .22 is that the rear sight came loose. I didnt want to mess with it because the slide is aluminum. S&W gave it a free ride to the factory and it came back good as new.

S&W recently rolled out a second .22 in the M&P line. They now have a full size and compact .22 pistol.

Pick up some snap cap and watch your favorite movie while working in that trigger. It will get better.

Been working on it. Other than the grit I really like this trigger, it feels like my old G17 but not as forceful of a reset. It's still there audible and tactile though if it turns out to be reliable I might just have to be an M&Ptard.

I went and bought a M&P9 because of my liking the M&P22 so much. The ergonomics is what I really dig. In fact when we took it out my 7 year old daughter shot it before I even did. I let her shoot five Hydrashocks into a pumkin. Now it has had 150 rounds through it with out an issue.
